I Purchased A Big, Attractive Wall Mural (With No Thought The place To Use It)

Have you ever ever been searching on-line solely to seek out one thing that appears prefer it was made only for you at an incredible value, however you had no concept the place you’d put it? In fact you’ve gotten. You’re studying a weblog referred to as Addicted 2 Adorning. I’d guess that a minimum of 95% of you’ve gotten carried out that. 😀

I imply, the very last thing I want is one other challenge added to my “to do” record proper now, however I couldn’t cross this up. This mural could as properly have had my identify written on it. This mural is beautiful and ideal in each approach. It’s 10 ft excessive and 20 ft huge, and it’s on sale for $264.60. For those who’ve ever shopped for murals, that murals that measurement are typically a minimum of $600, if not way more. And generally they’re a lot extra. So I had to purchase it, proper?! 😀

In fact, I purchased it with no particular plan of the place to make use of it. I used to be on the lookout for concepts and inspiration for our bed room partitions, however I can’t and received’t put that mural in a room proper subsequent to the toilet through which this mural is the star of the present…

Relating to the bed room, I used to be on the lookout for one thing that’s extra of a geometrical sample that may complement the floral mural within the subsequent room. Including one other floral mural isn’t within the plan. So I’ve to seek out one other place for this one.

I’ve narrowed it down to a few spots. The primary and most blatant possibility is the entryway wall.

If I exploit it there, I’d do away with the ottomans (I can hear a few of you cheering proper now 😀 ) and the pillows. I’d discover one other place for the mirrors and the fowl footage (most likely the longer term eating room), and I’d hold a quite simple one thing above the credenza, like one giant mirror.

The second spot that got here to thoughts is the hallway. I feel it could be lovely and dramatic, however it could additionally make this space fairly darkish.

Additionally, I feel it could look horrible subsequent to the toilet as soon as I add the brand new wallpaper to the toilet partitions. (And sure, I’ll be eradicating the tile accent.)

One other concept that got here to thoughts is to attend till we flip the pantry into the laundry room, with the doorway into the laundry room on the wall shared with the longer term kitchen, quite than its present doorway within the wall shared with the breakfast room. Proper now, the TV in that room hangs on the aspect wall — the wall shared with my studio…

However after the kitchen is added and the doorway to the pantry (future laundry room) is moved, the present doorway will likely be closed as much as flip this right into a stable wall, and the TV will go right here. This wall will likely be nearly the precise dimensions because the entryway wall. These are the one two huge, stable partitions out there in the home.

There may be really one different possibility. In a latest submit, somebody talked about the choice of constructing banquette seating within the eating room. I actually like that concept, so I’ve been looking for an taking a look at eating areas with banquette seating to get inspiration. That’s once I got here throughout this amazing space from Michelle Berwick Design.

I like that a lot that I discovered the wallpaper and ordered a pattern, but when I did one thing like this in our eating space, I might use the mural there. Clearly, I might solely use a portion of it because it’s so huge, however I’m certain I might pick a favourite portion to make use of there.

I’m nonetheless undecided that banquette seating will work in our future eating space, however I actually love the thought. It might give me a legit cause to shift the desk and chairs over (as an alternative of sitting proper smack dab within the heart, as my want for symmetry would necessitate) to offer extra respiration room between the eating desk/chairs and the furnishings within the TV room. However I’m nonetheless eager about it.

So proper now, I’m leaning in the direction of utilizing it within the entryway, largely as a result of I don’t need to wait till after our kitchen is completed to place that mural up. 😀 But additionally, I actually do suppose that’s the most effective spot for it. It’ll make fairly an influence when individuals enter our home!
